    Hell looking at the picture you did not need to swap it out. It's only the air jet valve tab that broke off. There nothing but problems anyway.

    Huh????

    That's not an intake valve to the right of the rocker?
    Sure feels like it's running on 3 cyl, which would make sense if nothing was getting thru that intake due to the broken off tab.

    Or, you have a bad hydraulic valve lash adjuster, or a rod cap is coming off of one of your connecting rods. (like mine did)

    This is what it should look like, just not as messy.

    Well crap.
    Just read a bit further in the FSM and your right, that's a freaking jet valve.
    So, looks like I didn't find the source of my tapping and lack of power after all when I saw the broken rocker arm.
    Not a happy camper.
